FlightDeckSolutiolns FDS-G2 FCU with Jeehell FMGS

Is there any one have try old FDS-G2 FCU with Jeehell FMGS?
It's seemed the G2 based on CPFight board, and HardwareConnect with CPFlight support, can open the com port, and display connected.
But after some seconds, display false connection, and then re-open com port again, again and again.

Is there any new firmware from FDS for the G2 FCU? or anyway can make it work with Jeehell?

Hi, I've also tried to get that old G2 working with FMGS without success. Its old interface logic is simply ways too old for FMGS and other suites. Best option is to buy a more actual FCU from Skalarki or Flightdecksolutions.

But since a new FCU has been too expensive for me I decided to design and build my own FCU/EFIS boards fitting to the FDS-G2 panels. Now I can use the old IBL panels but have new 7-segment displays and all A32x FCU functions like QNE/QNF switching, 100/1000 ft switching, sturdy push/pull rotary encoders and fully illuminated pushbutton switches. If you like I can send you a picture of it via PM.
Regards, Bon

Hi, Bon,

Leaving for a trip some days, just come back and see your post, sounds good. I'd like to get the picture, and I'd like to know, is it possible that I follow up your design and DIY this board? Thanks.
